{Love this renovation by Gerry Smith of a Brooklyn brownstone because it manages to maintain some traditional elements.}Their brief? A modern kitchen with a wet bar for entertaining (the couple are avid entertainers). A fully equipped laundry room for a family of five (plus dog). A utility room for yard work. An extra powder room in proximity to all the action. But most importantly, said the client, “We wanted these new areas—while not in any sense historically accurate—to remain in keeping with the rest of the house.”Luckily, the existing layout worked well, so dramatic functional overhauls were not needed. Instead, said Smith, the question became: “How do we provide a more modernized kitchen and utility room that still feels like an appropriate extension of the rest of turn-of-the-century house?” -- source link
